Sinus Surgery

Dr. Liudahl was one of the first wave of physicians trained to perform endoscopic sinus surgery. He has over 18 years of experience performing this type of surgery and he stays up to date on the latest developments in the field.

When repeated treatments of antibiotics and nasal steroidal sprays have failed to keep you free from sinus infections, the only remaining option may be sinus surgery.

When diagnosed with chronic sinusitis, a CT scan is usually obtained to fully view the images of the sinuses. These images may be used later in surgery if it is necessary.

Dr. Liudahl uses the latest in endoscopic technology for sinus surgeries. An endoscope is a tiny camera mounted on a thin tube that can easily be maneuvered through the sinuses. The endoscope allows clear and precise viewing of tissues lining the sinuses.

As with any surgery, endoscopic sinus surgery does carry some risk. Dr. Liudahl and his staff go to great lengths to explain indications, benefits and risks, and alternatives to surgery.
